ShiftCare charges you more every time you add a worker — and locks features behind expensive tiers. The bigger your team, the more you save.

ShiftCare charges $9–$25 per user per month. KareShift charges a predictable $49–$249/month regardless of team size. At 10+ workers, KareShift costs less. At 20+ workers, significantly less. Both handle NDIS rostering well — the difference is pricing model, trial length, and whether you need aged care support.

ShiftCare has built-in NDIS invoicing. KareShift has Xero Payroll integration (direct timesheet sync) and NDIS bulk payment export — but full in-app invoicing with statement generation is on the roadmap.
ShiftCare has a dedicated App Store app. KareShift is a progressive web app (PWA) — installs directly to your home screen on both iPhone and Android, no app store needed.
At small team sizes, pricing is comparable. ShiftCare's per-user model only becomes expensive as you grow.
Yes. ShiftCare supports CSV export for workers, participants, and schedules. KareShift accepts CSV imports — you can transfer your data without re-entering everything manually. Upload via the built-in import tool — we validate every row and show you a preview before saving.
Yes. Full features, 5 workers, no credit card required. If you don't subscribe after 90 days, your account is simply paused — no surprise charges, no data deletion.
ShiftCare is developing AI-powered scheduling and documentation features. We're focused on getting the fundamentals right first — reliable rostering, compliance, and affordability. AI features are on our roadmap but not our current priority.
Different business model. No sales team, no enterprise pricing negotiations, lower overhead from modern infrastructure. We pass the savings to providers. Per-tier pricing means your cost is predictable — it doesn't grow with your team.
